Application April 5, 1945, Serial No. 586,658

1 Claim. 1

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in fur article bearing designs.

More specifically, the present invention proposes the construction of a fur article characterized by having reproduced thereon attractive designs.

Still further it is proposed to provide an article as aforesaid such as a rug or a pair of slippers on which designs of birds, trees, flowers, grass, leaves, or other ornamental and attractive designs have been reproduced, as by means of a brush, stencil, dyeing, pressing or spraying. Other articles to which the invention may be applied, the articles containing fur or leather and fur coverings, are furniture, mittens and the like.

For further comprehension of th invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claim in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawings forming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of an article constructed in accordance with this invention.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view similar to Fig. 2 but showing a modification of this invention.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a slipper constructed in accordance with this invention.

The article shown in Figs. 1 and 2 and constructed in accordance with this invention is a fur rug H). For instance, it may be a wolf pelt. At the center of the main part of the rug is reproduced a frame ll of contrasting color with relation to the color of the pelt. In this frame is reproduced the figure of a duck l2 flying, in natural colors. Up at the head or narrow portion of the pelt is a smaller frame l3 of contrasting color in which is a smaller duck l4 flying.

All the hair of the pelt except the hair over the figures of the ducks and the hair of the two frames is sheared so that it is shorter than the hair of the ducks and frames, making the ducks and frames stand out.

If desired, the hair of the ducks and frames may be sheared and the remaining hair of the pelt left long. Such a construction is shown in Fig. 3 wherein parts corresponding to like parts of Fig. 1 are designated by like references with an accent added.

The duck may be made on the fur, and the frame may be made on the fur, in several ways. For instance, they may be painted in with a paint brush. Or they may be painted with the use of a Number 2 stencil. Or the figures may be printed, that, is, pressed on with a colored die. Another method would be to dye the fur to provide the ducks and frame, or to apply the paint or dye with a spray gun.

Another type of pelt admirably suited for the articles of the present invention, is a lamb pelt bleached white. Other figures than ducks may be employed as aforesaid.

In Fig. 4 a fur bunny slipper is shown constructed in accordance with this invention. The slipper has a top I5 corresponding in shape to the fur rug of Fig. 1. That is, it has a large main portion l6 and a top smaller portion l'l. Frames II" and I3" are made similar to frames II and I3. A seal I8 is shown in frame II" and a penguin IS in fram l3". The frames and figures may have longer or shorter hair than the rest of the pelt. They are shown having longer hair.

The fur article may be of any color combination, made of sheared, unsheared or plucked and the fur fibres may be in its natural untreated form or may be straightened.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:

A fur pelt article having a large portion and a small portion, a delineating area in said large portion, a figure embraced by said delineatin area, a delineating area in said small portion, a figure in said delineating area of said small portion, said delineating areas and said figures being reproduced on said pelt and the hair of said REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in the file of this patent:
